"My eyes are up here, you know."

John quickly averted his gaze from the ground and to the man infront of him. He blushed when he saw Alexander staring at him with this new emotion written all over his eyes, this new emotion he's been so oblivious about has been going on for six months already, and he was always too shy to ask what it was.

Alexander chuckled as John struggled on what to say, he always found the little things the freckled boy does cute to his perspective, and he just couldn't wait to finally have him for himself.

But he couldn't yet, he's waited for six months, he won't let that go to waste, and besides- John's turning the legal age soon, he just had to wait a bit more.

"I-I j-just, I m-mean- I-I-" John was beet red "I'm sorry," He looked away "I got distracted."

"By what?" Alexander asked "It couldn't have been me, what were you distracted from?"

"A-ah.. I-I don't know, b-by my thoughts..?" John said, but he questioned his statement.

Alexander decided to drop the subject by chuckling "You're too adorable."

John felt his heart race, but he reminded himself that every compliment Alexander said to him all platonic, after all- Alexander never had a real friend before, so maybe he thought compliments are obligated to say to a friend, he has to explain they're not to him though, but he couldn't help but hope.

"You don't have to compliment me every minute ya' know." John muttered, averting his gaze "Friends don't work that way."

Alexander raised a brow, amused by his obliviousness "Oh?" He started before gently grabbing his chin to let John face him instead of somewhere else "Then care to explain to me.." He leaned in "How 'friendship' works?".

John was as red as a tomato before turnibg away from his grasp "Well it's definantly not l-like this!"

"Like what?" Alexander asked, trying to sound oblivious.

"W-well!" John looked at him "F-friends hang out! Eat lunch together, play games and tell problems.." John said "T-they're there for each other, tease each other and hook them up with people.."

"And what are we doing? Aren't we also like that?" Alexander tilted his head innocently, but he was already a smirking mess inside.

"W-well, y-yeah but.." John looked away "W-we also sleep together--"

"Friends do that," Alexander butted in.

"In the same bed." John continued, glaring at him "A-and we b-become.. I-intimate at times.."

"Define intimate." Alexander couldn't help but smirk.

"We hug closer than normal friends do, call each other pet names and feed each other, not to mention we also sometimes sleep half naked." John replied, annoyed "Friends don't do that.."

"Then are you sure were friends?" Alexander said "Or something more?"

John didn't hear the last part since he was too surprised by the first one "W-well yeah, aren't we?"

"I don't know." Alexander said as he leaned towards him "You tell me."

"What are we, John Laurens?"
